LG has just announced two phones for the Chinese market: the KT878 and KV920. The first is an Omnia-esque smartphone running on China’s proprietary TD-SCDMA hardware, and packs Windows Mobile 6.1, a 5 megapixel camera and a 3″ WVGA screen. By the looks of it, there’s an optical sensor between the soft keys, so you’ll have your pick of input options. The KV920 is a Voyager-style full-QWERTY flip with a slightly lower-key 2.8″ QVGA screen that runs on EVDO networks, and carries a 3 megapixel camera. If it looks familiar, that’s because it’s the enV Touch that just came out on Verizon not too long ago.
